Bachelor of Science in Business Administration

The skills necessary to keep abreast of the dynamic global economy change at an ever-quickening pace. Professionals
must be competent in not only the technical arena but also understand the “soft skills” needed to effectively manage projects and people.

Careers in Business Administration

Those who complete a bachelor’s degree in business administration will have a global perspective along with the analytical and technical skills needed to compete in today’s challenging marketplace. These students also are positioned to enter graduate programs in business, law and medicine.

Licensed counselors are available to provide strategies for mastering job interviews, writing professional cover letters and resumes and connecting with campus recruiters, among other services. Naveen Jindal School of Management students are encouraged to hold internships. The school’s fully-staffed Career Management Center, working in tandem with the University’s Career Center, helps students prepare for and seek internships, as well as post-graduation employment.

Business Administration at UT Dallas

A student in business administration can choose a general business administration degree, a double major in biology and business administration, or concentrate in one of these areas:

Entrepreneurship

Operations management

Organizational behavior

A 120-hour curriculum leads to a degree in business administration. All undergraduate degrees require a central core of 42 hours. In the core courses, students have an opportunity to learn theories and analytical techniques to apply to the functional areas of business, such as finance and marketing. Students are exposed to the global influences on business activities and to social and political factors that impact business behavior.

A capstone course in strategic management allows students to solve real-world business problems. Students are also required to take courses outside the Jindal School in order to broaden their educational experience in preparation for leadership roles as professionals and/or managers in modern business organizations.

Living Learning Community

The Naveen Jindal School of Management Living Learning Community is a special opportunity for incoming freshmen interested in pursuing a business degree. These select students live together in on-campus housing, attend classes together and participate as a group in social activities.
